The Journey Home

The Journey Home

 

He arrived

In October when the Autumn breeze

Teases the leaves from sleepy trees

When the sweetness of morning rain

No longer sustains a summer garden

Yet nudging the last flower in vain.

He arrived

Among colors of crimson and gold

Among Oak and Maple leaves

Scattering across an old country road

Under a sleepy sentimental moon

And as the months moved on

Oh too soon…

 

He left

In February as Winter winds

Travel across frozen fields

Alternating in whispers and roars

Teasing snowflakes into a frenzy                              

And rustling barren tree branches.

He left

Among colors of white and gray

Sweeping in the dark of night

Shadowing a melancholy moon

While seventy-two times he observed

Nature indeed moves on as we must…

No matter October no matter February

It is love that endures with every season

And for the love of his life, Josie…

He will always warm her hand within his.

 

Our Condolences, Monta & Dave Becker
